Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Nobody would even know or care who Power Girl is without the boob window.

Hahahaha, really?

That's precious.

Name one other thing about Power Girl that your average joe would know about her other than her massive chest.

Mention the name in the forums and you get a wall of boob window jpegs (maybe not in GV but in a comic thread in SE ++ or D&D).

Hate on it all you want, it’s sexist, it’s juvenile, etc. and I’ll agree with you but it’s defined her just as much as Wolverine is defined by his claws or Punisher is defined by a big skull on his chest.

PG's solo book convinced a lot comics fans to love her (and not because of the boob window).

I don't give a shit if the average joe only recognizes her as a cheesecake hero. The average joe also sees Aquaman as a total joke, but DC has apparently been doing a pretty good job making him a fascinating and legitimate superhero.

It's really stupid for them to trot out Apokolips as just a big bad that threatens the world with a massive invasion.

Yes, Darkseid is incredibly powerful but he's calculating mastermind. He influences events indirectly through manipulation and subterfuge. He would never reveal his involvement so brazenly.

What's worse is that they have a chance to create a new dynamic with Apokolips/Darkseid. With the reboot, no one knows about Apokolips, New Genesis, or the New Gods. So why would Darkseid immediately reveal himself as a bad guy and an enemy of humanity? It just makes no sense.

Well JL 1-6 made it pretty clear he wanted Superman for some reason.

Darkseid has always wanted to use Superman in his schemes.

It's just bad writing to (re)introduce one of the biggest villains in the entire DC universe without any development or build up.
They could have done so much more. They could have had Darkseid secretly back a super villain organization or manipulate various nations of the earth into going to war. At the very least have Intergang show up first to foreshadow Darkseid's influence like they did in Superman: TAS and Young Justice.

Dammit Action Comics. Just got through #5. I started out going, so, wait its the basic origin story again? Then it goes and ties into every little thing that has happened so far and clears up every scene I thought was questionable earlier on, and just does awesome.

Let me tell you something that you should know about real life. The "Average joe" doesn't know anything about Powergirl. If you mention Powergirl and someone responses "The one with the Boob-window?" you are not talking to someone with the average persons knowledge of comicbooks.

Well I ask people would they cat call Wonder Woman? most say no because of the fear she would kick thier ass. But that part of the fun
I have asked people if they would cat call Power Girl and most to all say Who?

The closest thing the public knows about Power Girl is from Justice League Unlimited, where she's called Galatea and is evil.

DC's put Aquaman with good renditions on various cartoon series, and Smallville, which slowly changed the public's mind about him. Power Girl's only made 1 appearance in other media. It was in Justice League Unlimited, with a version that may as well be an expy not a genuine adaption. That's why the average joe considers her a joke, if they know about her at all.

That's...sort of my point?

Aquaman is doing well because DC has actually been trying to do interesting things with him and getting him in the public eye.

They should do the same with Power Girl.

In that case I agree.

I think the issue one would run into there is that PG is a confusing character. Not for the average comic fan, perhaps.

But when you boil her story down for a non-comic book fan, she's basically ... Supergirl. Same powers, same look (for the most part), same real name, same origin (minus the cross-dimensional part).

I still say that the rebooted universe is basically Hal Jordan as Parallax successfully pulling off Zero Hour after years having a fake Hal Jordan running around to make him the ultimate hero while bringing back all the 'proper heroes" like Barry and Barbra again.

Gets his cake and east it too basically having pulled the ultimate con.

This FCBD issue had the most confusing credits for the 4 page splash. I guess Trinity War is going to be a separate title? Because it never says issues or parts, and the way it puts Lee's name at the beginning yet he's drawing the end of the story, it doesn't flow really well. And Didio is going to co-edit the book? uh oh.
